Pitchfork Music Festival Paris is the French capital's edition of the global music festival series.

Every November thousands of music fans gather en masse in the 19th arrondissement of a crispy and autumnal Paris, filling the palatial Grande Halle de la Villette for three nights. Though it used to be a massive abatorie, now it plays host to some of this city's biggest cultural events, and Pitchfork Music Festival Paris is no exception.

Over the years the festival has reflected the biggest names in indie (Bon Iver, The War On Drugs, The National etc.) and the scene's most inspiring new talent, as well as representing its own French identity with a picking of national treasures.
